    The Role

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I was given real responsibility rather than just an administrative support role and felt like a valued member of the team.

    5/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    5/5

    • I always had something to do and was never bored.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was happy to take on more and more responsibility as my placement progressed. Towards the end of my placement, I was doing the same job as other more experienced members of my team on permanent contracts.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I received several training sessions throughout my work placement and gained a lot of valuable experience and skills which I am sure will prove useful in the future.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • I worked in an international team which created a great atmosphere in the office.

    5/5
  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • I only found out that I had been successful 1 month beofre my placement started, which was short notice taking into account that I had to move abroad. I also didn't sign anything until arriving in France and it was a few weeks after starting before I had my own desk and email access. Despite this the job itself was well organised and I always had something to do.

    3/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • I was travelled several times during my placement to attend training sessions and meetings. I am also involved in a programme which will allow me to stay in touch with my manager during my final year of studies.

    5/5
  • 10. What were the perks on your work placement?

    • Subsidised Canteen

    International Travel

    Company Parties/Events
    4/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I will stay in touch with my manager and am keen to return to the team after I graduate.

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • We often socialised with colleagues outside of work and a number of my fellow interns have been terrific friends during my time abroad (one in particular, she knows who she is!).

    5/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I found the cost of living and socialising in France to be slightly more expensive than in England.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Toulouse is a student city and has an excellent nightlife. I would stick to the bars however as the clubs here can be expensive and exclusive.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Activities outside of work were always being organised, from eating out together to skiing weekends in the Pyrenees.
